The previous week bond markets had the biggest 3-day rally in a dozen years. Likewise, many of the most watched asset markets had their best 3-days of the year, resulting in the dollar’s biggest sell-off during that same stretch. However, just a week later and an ugly 30-year bond auction has many questioning if the world is finally beginning to reject U.S. bonds as the safe haven. Is the reckless spending finally catching up to the U.S. government, or is this just a warning sign that a global sovereign debt crisis is about to unfold. If so, then despite all its misbehaving, the U.S. is still likely to be the last domino standing.

The Dollar Milkshake Theory, an idea created by Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital to explain the role of the US Dollar in the global monetary system, is a reference to the infamous milkshake scene in the movie “There Will Be Blood”. The clever narrative, like all good tales, has taken on a life of its own, and just like the movie from which it credits its name, the “theory” has also attracted its share of haters. Brent takes it all in stride and finds humor in the drama. Particularly that which occurs on Twitter, where he is a well-known antagonist and where most financial debates congregate nowadays. So, Brent and his friend Jon Kutsmeda decided to share some of the social madness on a weekly show, while bringing some much needed perspective to the financial debate.
